VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ALB #BMW--Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR, OTC: LMRMF, FSE: DH8C) is focused on the exploration and development of graphite for the new green economy. Lomiko has been monitoring actions by government in Canada and the USA that are focused on reducing dependence on Chinese supply of graphite, lithium and other electric vehicle battery materials. Canada and the USA have worked closely and confirmed supply agreements between the two countries.
President Donald Trump recently signed an Executive Order entitled Executive Order on Addressing the Threat to the Domestic Supply Chain from Reliance on Critical Minerals from Foreign Adversaries, which is focused on creating North American suppliers of Battery Materials.
Excerpts from Executive Order:
"...the United States is 100 percent reliant on imports for graphite, which is used to make advanced batteries for cellphones, laptops, and hybrid and electric cars. China produces over 60 percent of the world’s graphite and almost all of the world’s production of high-purity graphite needed for rechargeable batteries."
“(i) the United States develops secure critical minerals supply chains that do not depend on resources or processing from foreign adversaries;
(ii) the United States establishes, expands, and strengthens commercially viable critical minerals mining and minerals processing capabilities; and
(iii) the United States develops globally competitive, substantial, and resilient domestic commercial supply chain capabilities for critical minerals mining and processing.”
In September, Congressmen Lance Gooden (R-TX) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) recently introduced a bill that seeks to decrease the U.S.’s dependence on China for critical metals. The bill, dubbed the Reclaiming American Rare Earths (RARE) Act, aims to establish tax incentives for domestic production of rare earths.
The Congressmen statement sounds the alarm regarding critical metals production: “The United States is more dependent than ever on the importation of the resources that drive our economy, enable us to build advanced technology, and ensure our national security,” Gooden’s office said in a release. “Thirty-five of these rare earth minerals are designated by the Department of Interior as ‘critical’, and we source fourteen of them entirely from foreign suppliers. China is a leading supplier for twenty-two of the thirty-five. The RARE Act is specifically designed to change that.”
Earlier this year, Sen. Ted Cruz introduced similar legislation, dubbed the Onshoring Rare Earths Act of 2020, or ORE Act. Further, on December 18, 2019 Canada announced that it had joined the U.S.-led multilateral Energy Resource Governance Initiative (ERGI). ERGI aims to support secure and resilient supply chains for critical minerals by identifying options to diversify supply chains and facilitate trade and industry connections.
Canada, and especially Quebec, are perfectly situated to supply the U.S. with many of the critical minerals it is seeking to secure due to an extensive selection of mineral projects. Also, strong political and economic ties, a stable political, economic and regulatory environment and a robust metals and mining sector. Of the 35 critical metals identified by the U.S., Canada is a sizable supplier of 13 of such minerals including graphite, lithium and manganese to the U.S. and the second-largest supplier of niobium, tungsten and magnesium. Canada also supplies approximately one quarter of the U.S. uranium needs.
“Initial indications are that La Loutre Graphite Property is high-quality and high-grade and thus worthy of development.” stated A. Paul Gill, CEO. “The only operating graphite mine in North America which is the Imerys Graphite & Carbon at Lac-des-Îles, is 30 miles northwest of La Loutre and has operated for 30 years. It reported proven reserves of 5.2 M Tonnes at a grade of 7.42 % Cg in July 1988 before the start of production.” (Reference: Potentiel de la minéralisation en graphite au Québec, N’Golo Togola, MERN, page 31, Conférence Québec Mines, November 24 2016).
Graphite demand is expected to increase exponentially for the mined natural graphite material, as more is used in the production of spherical graphite for graphite in the anode portion of Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion batteries. The near-term goals of the company are as follows:
1) Complete 100% Acquisition of the Property, currently 80% owned by Lomiko Metals.
2) Complete metallurgy and graphite characterization to confirm li-ion anode grade material.
3) Complete a Technical Report to confirm the extent of the mineralization equals or surpasses the nearby Imerys Mine, owned by international mining conglomerate.
A "technical report" means a report prepared and filed in accordance with this Instrument and Form 43-101F1 Technical Report, and includes, in summary form, all material scientific and technical information in respect of the subject property as of the effective date of the technical report;
4) Complete Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
A PEA means a study, other than a pre-feasibility or feasibility study, that includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of mineral resources.

First of Its Kind Deployment of Innovative Environmental Technology in The Treasure State
SIDNEY, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#coronavirus--Kraken Oil & Gas (“Kraken”) has engaged Crusoe Energy Systems Inc. (“Crusoe”) to deploy 18 Digital Flare Mitigation® (“DFM”) modules between three oil and gas production sites in eastern Montana and one site in North Dakota. The projects have been successfully deployed and are operating in the field currently. Cumulatively, Kraken’s DFM projects reduce natural gas flaring by millions of cubic feet per day, significantly curtail emissions, and provide an innovative beneficial use for otherwise flared natural gas.
Kraken is the largest producer of Bakken oil in the state of Montana, and is also very active in North Dakota. In total, the company produces ~40,000 barrels of oil per day from ~320 wells. In Montana the company produces ~10,000 barrels of oil per day from ~60 wells. The majority of Kraken’s wells sell gas into traditional pipelines for processing at gas plants around the basin; however, a portion of the company’s acreage is located in areas where pipeline capacity is limited or unavailable. In these areas, Kraken has deployed Crusoe’s DFM solution to capture gas that would otherwise be stranded or flared.
“Kraken has always embraced innovation and technology to improve our operations,” said Bruce Larsen, President & CEO of Kraken. “It has never been more important for oil and gas companies to demonstrate a commitment to environmental excellence. Flare mitigation with Crusoe’s technology has become a centerpiece of our environmental innovation and ESG strategy at sites with otherwise stranded natural gas. Crusoe continues to impress us with their reliability, safety standards and support. We feel proud of the work our companies are doing together to reduce flaring and emissions in Montana and North Dakota.”
Crusoe installs modular computing systems powered entirely by gas that was otherwise being flared. In the current environment of challenging oil and gas economics, Crusoe’s solution offers a low or no cost solution to flaring which produces an additional revenue stream for oilfield operators from gas that was previously not captured. The systems are modular and scalable, which allows Crusoe to mitigate flaring at almost any scale from tens of thousands to millions of cubic feet per day. As a result, Crusoe’s clients range from publicly traded oil and gas firms to private companies, like Kraken.
“People sometimes talk about technology as though it only happens in Silicon Valley,” said Alan Olson, Executive Director at Montana Petroleum Association. “These Digital Flare Mitigation projects are an excellent reminder of the incredible ingenuity and technological sophistication within the oil and gas industry here in Montana. Here is a set of mobile, modular data centers that capture otherwise wasted natural gas to power energy-intensive computation directly at the wellhead. Crusoe’s deployments with Kraken are the first of their kind in Montana, but I would not be surprised if additional operators deploy similar projects in due course.”

We once again moved one step closer to our goal of building a base station that floats in the sky solely on solar energy. Even though the temperature fell below 73 degrees Celsius, our work on endurance tests bore fruit and resulted in a successful test flight. On the day of the test, Sunglider faced aerial currents of roughly 30 meters per second, so I was relieved when it hit the runway after clearing all test items. In this test flight, we also successfully conducted communications with smartphones on the ground and obtained data for fully automated piloting. While there is still much room for improvement, we will continue to work toward realizing our dream.”

LONDON & SYDNEY & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners (‘Quinbrook’), a specialist investor in lower carbon and renewable energy infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Dawn Turner to the Investment Manager Advisory Board.
Dawn is the former CEO of the Brunel Pensions Partnership, a £30 billion Local Government Pension Scheme Pool recently formed from the collaboration of 10 Local Government Pension Scheme funds. Prior to her role at Brunel, Dawn served as the Chief Pensions Officer at the Environment Agency Pension Fund. She is currently an Advisory Committee member at Man Group and is a Responsible Investment Advisory Committee member at Irish Life Investment Management. Dawn is a recognized expert in Responsible Investment and Sustainable Finance with over 30 years’ experience as a finance professional and business leader. She is a recipient of multiple industry awards and was named in Financial News’ top 100 most influential women 2017 and 2018.
Dawn joins Mark Fulton, former Head of Research at DB Climate Change Advisors at Deutsche Bank, on Quinbrook’s Advisory Board. Dawn will bring an invaluable investor’s perspective to the ongoing formulation and refinement of Quinbrook’s ESG and impact focused investment strategies in lower carbon and renewable energy infrastructure asset development, ownership and portfolio construction for institutional investors.
Quinbrook aims to protect and enhance the value of invested assets for the long-term benefit of its investors through the proactive identification and management of the ESG aspects of those investments. However, Quinbrook’s ESG objectives extend beyond this; to job creation, improved governance, greater community engagement, and reduced environmental impacts from the daily operation of portfolio assets. In the UK, Quinbrook is focusing on opportunities arising from the accelerating energy transition to achieve ‘Net Zero’ emissions from the country’s energy supply system. With ageing coal, gas and nuclear plants being retired in the UK, significant long-term capital investment in replacement new renewables supply infrastructure, battery storage, smart grid and related businesses will be needed. Quinbrook views the need for new infrastructure as an opportunity to deliver measurable ESG impact from asset creation and optimisation which it considers fundamental to any ‘high impact’ focused investment thesis.
Rory Quinlan, co-founder and managing partner of Quinbrook, stated, “Whilst ESG and impact investing are not new to Quinbrook given the decades we have devoted to developing and building new renewables infrastructure assets, we are committed to leading the industry and continuously improving our processes and effectiveness as an investment manager. Investors are increasingly demanding proactive engagement on ESG and sustainability, as they should. We are delighted to have such a well-respected professional in Dawn Turner to help guide us forward.”

Expected to be Completed in First Quarter of 2021
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Peck Company Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PECK) (the “Company” or “Peck”), a leading commercial solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, is pleased to announce the signing of a 5.3MW contract in Rhode Island, from a long time customer.
The $7.256 million contract for a project located in Rhode Island is targeted to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. Peck’s expansion into Rhode Island adds to the recent news about the Company’s expansion into Maine. Today’s announcement of this 5.3MW contract is significant by exemplifying again that Peck is expanding its geographic footprint across the northeastern states and proving to accomplish its goals.
A recent report by Cambridge, Mass.-based Synapse Energy Economics Inc. concludes that Rhode Island can produce a greater amount of electricity than it consumes by installing solar arrays on more roofs, landfills, brownfields, gravel pits, and parking lots.
The Peck Company Holdings Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Peck, commented, “This is our first project in Rhode Island, so we are very excited about working in the state and helping with their renewable energy goals. Our organic growth strategy of serving our existing customer base in other states is working and benefitting all stakeholders. We look forward to our continued expansion into Rhode Island, Maine, other states in the northeast and coast to coast. We would also like to thank our valued partners who continue to rely on Peck for our expertise and craftsmanship. These long-term relationships are an integral component of our current and future growth.”
Mr. Peck continued, “This momentum is important as we advance our efforts to close the previously announced business combination with Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW). As detailed in the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2020, we believe the transaction with Sunworks will allow us to leverage the combined synergies to create a larger solar EPC platform with greater geographical reach and enhanced financial resources which will benefit our partners, customers and shareholders.”
Since becoming a public company in 2019, Peck has been successfully executing its three-pronged growth strategy including:
(1) Organic expansion across the Northeastern United States
(2) Conducting accretive merger and acquisition transactions to expand geographically
(3) Investing in company-owned solar assets that provide recurring revenue
The Peck Company Holdings is guided by the mission to facilitate the reduction of carbon emissions through the expansion of clean, renewable energy and it believes that leveraging such core values to deploy resources toward profitable business is the only sustainable strategy to achieve these objectives.
About The Peck Company Holdings, Inc.
Headquartered in South Burlington, VT, The Peck Company Holdings, Inc. is a 2nd-generation family business founded in 1972 and rooted in values that align people, purpose, and profitability. Ranked by Solar Power World as one of the leading commercial solar contractors in the Northeastern United States, the Company provides EPC services to solar energy customers for projects ranging in size from several kilowatts for residential properties to multi-megawatt systems for large commercial and utility scale projects. The Company has installed over 165 megawatts worth of solar systems since it started installing solar in 2012 and continues its focus on profitable growth opportunities.

VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) continues to advance its strategic Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives and remains focused on providing its stakeholders with timely updates on key ESG activities.
Recently, UGI’s subsidiary, UGI Energy Services, LLC (“UGIES”) completed the sale of its ownership stake in the Conemaugh coal-fired power generation station. The sale of this non-core asset will reduce UGI’s Scope 1 (direct) emissions by more than 30%. This is another step toward achievement of our Company’s ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
UGI is also actively investing to ensure it is well positioned to deliver renewable and sustainable energy solutions for its 3 million customers. One recent example is UGIES’ acquisition of GHI, a leading renewable natural gas (“RNG”) business. The GHI acquisition is a strategic investment that represents a growth opportunity in the renewable energy space and positions the Company to make additional investments in this rapidly developing area of renewable energy solutions.
UGI remains equally focused on the social aspect of its commitments to stakeholders. In alignment with UGI’s values to promote diversity, the Company recently created the Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity, & Equity (“BIDE”) Initiative. BIDE provides the blueprint for achieving greater diversity of thought, experience, culture, gender, race, and sexual orientation throughout the organization. As part of this initiative, UGI established new partnerships with the Urban Affairs Coalition and Big Brothers Big Sisters, further demonstrating UGI’s commitment to the communities it serves.
Lastly, UGI recently disclosed ESG metrics via the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board framework and the American Gas Association template to provide greater non-financial disclosure to our stakeholders. The Company also published a number of new policies including Human Rights, Supplier Code of Conduct, and Environmental, among others. These disclosures and polices can be found at UGI’s new ESG website: https://ugiesg.com/.
John L. Walsh, President and Chief Executive Officer of UGI Corporation, said, “I am pleased with the progress we are making on ESG, which represents a critical mandate for the company. The sale of Conemaugh will reduce UGI’s direct emissions by over 30% and the GHI acquisition will provide a platform for RNG growth. Additionally, the BIDE initiative, coupled with our new policies, represents an important step forward for UGI and aligns with the Company’s vision and values. We remain committed to growing our business responsibly, while meeting the social needs of our customers, employees, and communities. UGI is proud of the work we’ve accomplished on our ESG initiatives and looks forward to communicating additional progress in the future.”

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Triple Oak Power LLC (“TOP”) announced today its formation, as well as underlying capital commitment from EnCap Investments L.P. (“EnCap”), a leading provider of equity capital to the independent sector of the U.S. energy industry. Yorktown Partners LLC (“Yorktown”), an energy-focused private equity firm, Mercuria Energy and TOP management will also invest in the company by providing additional growth capital.
Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, TOP will focus on developing high quality onshore wind and other competitive carbon-free power to accelerate the U.S. transition to renewable energy and help shape a more diverse, reliable, and sustainable power grid. TOP’s root strategy lies in filling the gap between early stage volatility in the development process to delivering the certainty of shovel-ready utility-scale wind facilities.
“Triple Oak Power’s deep, end-to-end expertise in the wind development value chain and unique strategic vision are a natural fit with the EnCap Energy Transition portfolio of industry innovators,” said EnCap Energy Transition Managing Partner Kellie Metcalf. “We’re excited about TOP’s ability to develop wind projects that lead to cost-effective, high-capacity solutions that will complement the continued growth of solar and battery storage.”
TOP is taking a creative approach to a proven business model, delivering well-positioned wind energy projects at a time when low-cost clean energy and local economic development are especially critical. TOP’s three key goals are meeting customers’ increasing demand for affordable zero carbon electricity, investing in rural economies seeking financial recovery and stability, and providing a platform for established capital partners to directly participate in the clean energy transition.
“Initially we’ll target markets with demonstrated momentum toward clean energy, including those supported by renewable energy standards or where economics are attractive to the expanding customer demand for a sustainable power supply,” said TOP Chief Executive Officer Jesse Gronner. “We’re also poised to efficiently take advantage of the growing shift away from older conventional power generation where, for example, retiring coal plants are creating transmission availability for cleaner energy capacity.”
The team at Triple Oak is led by co-founding partners Jesse Gronner, CEO, and Kenneth Labeja, CFO. Both recently held leadership roles at Portland-based Avangrid Renewables, a U.S.-based utility-renewable company controlled by Iberdrola SA, a global giant in the renewable sector. Gronner spent almost twenty years at Avangrid and its predecessor, PPM Energy, most recently as the vice president of development for all U.S. renewables. At Avangrid and PPM, he placed more than 5 gigawatts of wind and solar into operation and has built his career on the full development cycle, from landowners’ living rooms to investors’ Board rooms. Labeja started his career as an auditor with KPMG in Uganda. He later immigrated to the U.S. to pursue an MBA. He has spent more than 15 years in various roles in the energy sector, from energy investment banking to corporate development at firms including Credit Suisse and NRG and recently, at Avangrid Renewables, leading key commercial transactions on both buy and sell sides for utility-scale wind and solar projects.
About Triple Oak Power (TOP)
TOP’s mission is to leverage the enormous potential of our natural resources to create integrated, diverse, and sustainable electricity infrastructure. With many decades of combined experience in the renewable energy sector, the Triple Oak team is focused on building value for investors, communities, and landowners through responsibly developed wind and other carbon-free generation projects.

A video by Colorado Governor Jared Polis was presented to virtually celebrate the program’s new members. The ELP logo stencil was sprayed at their facility in Aurora along with a photo taken of available employees.
Inclusion in the CDPHE Environmental Leadership Program was awarded to Colorado Medical Waste for demonstrating its commitment to:
Using the natural oxidizing power of ozone, electricity, and an industrial shredder, waste volume is reduced by 90% to a sterile confetti residual with "ZERO" emissions as ozone reverts back to simple oxygen. Tons of medical waste streams are diverted from landfills, incinerators, and hazardous waste facilities. State of the art processes and technologies reduce the public health effects and environmental impact of traditional autoclave and incineration technologies. Efficacy tests prove ozone is 100x more effective than steam and an environmental alternative to incineration. Reduction of landfilled medical waste and incineration decreases methane greenhouse gas emissions and their contribution to global warming and climate change. Colorado Medical Waste and ozone processing bring medical waste management into the 21st century.
Beverly Hanstrom, the company CEO and owner says, "We are leading the industry and are at the forefront of environmental stewardship to reduce the carbon footprint of healthcare and medical waste. Our leadership raises awareness and exemplifies our passion and commitment to make a difference.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Refinery Catalyst - Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Refinery Catalyst market accounted for $3.81 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $5.59 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.
Increasing energy consumption and stringent environmental regulations are the major factors driving the market growth. However, diminishing crude oil reserves is restraining market growth.
Refinery catalysts are chemical compounds, which are added in refining processes of petroleum. Usually, petroleum produced through fractional distillation of crude, takes more time and fails to meet the demand and does not meet quality standards. They help to increase the conversion of petroleum refinery and reduce the time required to produce through distillation.
Based on ingredient, the zeolites segment is likely to have a huge demand as they widely used as adsorbents and catalysts owing to their porosity and large surface area. They are extensively used refinery materials, owing to their characteristics to provide micro porosity and adjustable acidity, thus making it ideal for petrochemical applications. By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period due to rising population and regulations related to environment. The increasing developments in amount of production of oil in refineries in developing countries of the region are providing growth opportunities for the market in the region.
